I forgot to mention about the entertainment. I'm sure they've been doing this for a while, but each day has a different theme of live music - Friday was hiphop, Saturday was country and Sunday was rock/punk. So the clientele at each day reflected that fandom.
I was back again on Sunday and it was a very chill vibe and folks were having fun. It really isn't crazy anymore like the old days. The ticket prices are way high so that probably makes the crowd a little on the older side, although there were certainly lots of younger folks there. It's quite easy to snag a table to sit so don't have to stand around all day.
Beer wise there were a few fun things, but a lot of regular stuff. I hit up GLB a lot and then had a fermented pineapple juice beer and a watermelon plus a number of their core lineup. I had a bunch from Town as I was chatting with them. The folks from Side Launch & Anderson were friendly so had a few from them.
It really is more just like a "fun fest" than anything else. With all the cooler offerings the groups of people were very diverse and not simply beer drinkers. Evolving with the times.

Toronto Festival of Beer 2016 - Jul 22-24
Sounds pretty good to me! I was in Ypsilanti that weekend for the Michigan Brewers Guild festival, but wouldn't mind hitting this up next year if the stars align.
